Some Recent Discoveries I'm Arizona--A
Giants Remains-A Group.
Not long ago there were some strange
discoveries in the land of the cave dwell
ers, not far from the ella river, in the
Sierra Madre range, in Arizona. The
place of sepulture. was securely sealed
with cement, and was difficult to pene-
trate. Great excitement was caused by
the discovery among the Indians of the
neighborhood, who, believing that the
mummies were the mortal remains of
some ancient deities, would fain have
prevented their removal The strange
treasure trove was taken away only after
several skirmishes. -
Who were they? That is question
that will probably never be answered.
What were they? This question is an
swered in the care taken for the preser-
walton of their bodies, and the skill with
which form and feature were preserved
to last Cor ages. They were Evidently
people of rank among people of won
derful character. M
One of them must have bee. almost q
giant in life. The hair still adheres to
his scalp, while the cartilagesM the nose
and ears are SO nearly perfect that only
close inspection reveals their imperfec-
tons. The eyebrows are still distinct
and well defined, while between the COM
pressed lips the cork like tongue and glis-
tening teeth are plainly visible. The flesh
ON the bones is, of course, considerably
shrunken, but hemuscles stand outin bold
relief, and the features still preserve the
pnmistakable characteristics of ancient
Aztec physiognomy, which is, indeed,
strongly marked in all the bodies in the
collection. In size and stature and in
general appearance they strictly CORE
spond with the descriptions given by an
tiquarians of the prehistoric Aztec race,
Then there is remarkably interesting
group--a mother and female child, the
latter apparently about A years old. They
were wrapped in one shroud. The deli.
cate lineaments of the mothers face are
clearly distinguishable, while the perfect
preservatiQn of the child cannot but be
mystery to scientists.
Still another of the bodies is that of
woman who may have been an Aztec
belle. She was young, and her silky,
howing hair is in a perfect state of pres
ervation. Her small, delicate hands and
feet, with her long, fine nails, lead one to
believe that she must have been one of
the aristocracysof that ancient common
wealth. The beautiful coloring of her
shroud, remnants of which are still visi-
bic, show that her contemporaries were
by no means ignorant of the arts Of dye
ing and weaving. Close beside her, and
wrapped in shroud of similar texture
and color, were found the remains of
stalwart man, who might have been, for
aught we know, her husband, father or
lover.--Inter Ocean.

Light for 1nstantaneou. photogr,

AT recent meeting of the Berlin Ply
steal society Professor G. w. Vogcl COM
mumicated the most recent discovery in
connection with instantaneous photogra-
ply, by which it is now possible TO obtain
instantaneous photographs not only at
night, but also in the darkest places.
Messrs. Goedicke and Miethe have pre-
pared mixture Of pulverized magne-
SUM, chloride of potash and sulphide Of
anthony, which when ignited produces
an explosive, lightning like illumination
of such intensity that by means of it an
instantaneous photograph can be taken.
The speaker then gave a demonstration
of the discovery by taking photographs
of several persons present. He used the
artificial light, of which each flash lasted
one-fortieth Of a second, and in few
minutes produced picture during the
meeting. The powders, as prepared by
the discoveries, cost only few pfennigs
each, and will hence readily come into
general use.-S Scientific American.

pandiaed French Sailors.

Going down the harbor day OF two
since was struck with the graceful APP
pearance of the great French ram, which,
with its long white hull and backward
sloping masts and smokestack, looked ex-
ceedingly rakish. AS general rule, the
new ironclads are cumbrous looking OBJ
jects, but the French man of war ap-
peared as light and airy as il she had not
been built upon modern scientific princi-
pies of opposing great resistance to the
enormous projeotiles of advanced gun
merry. looked with admiration ON the
graceful lines of the ram, and thought
that if q vessel had to be run down by
another there would be q certain satisfac-
ton in having the operation performed
by such keen and penetrating PROV.
The French sailors whom saw pulling
from one of the wharves to their ship
looked as ''trig" as their vessel, and yet
there was q lack of that salty expression
about them which is so noticeable in the
British and American man-o' -warsman.
Somehow the sea does not seem to be the

Women do not attend funerals in Mex
leo; it is against the rules Of society, and
the reason Is said to be that they cry too
much. A wife cannot go to her nus
bands funeral, nor can mother follow
her babe to the grave One of the pref
test customs in Mexico is the universal
respect which greets passing funeral.

virtues of Indian Corn.

Indian corn contains large amount of
nitrogen, has anti-constipating qualities,
is easily assimilated, cheap and very nu-
tritive. A doctor of note declares that q
course of Indian meal, in the shape Of
Johnny cake, hoe cake, corn or pone
bread and mush, relieved by copious
draughts Of pure cows milk, to which, if
inclined to dyspepsia, little lime water
may be added, will make a life, now q

An Army Sensation.

Washington, August 13-Quite q sem
sation was created among army officials
here yesterday by the receipt at the war
department of serious charges against
Colonel w. w. Burns, assistant com
missary general OF subsistence in charge
of the commissionaiy depot at New
York. The charges are preferred by
Colonel W. d. Whipple, ,adjutant gen.
eral OF the division of the Atlantic. The
officials are very feticent as to the nature
OF charges. Adjatant General Drum
acknowledges them to be most serious
in character, but would say no more.
5Oommlssary General MacF Feely, acting
secretary OF war, had not seen tho charges
when called upon, but stated that he
could not believe that they seriously in
volved the honor of either the ACCUSED
or accuser. He imagined they were
simply the outcome of some private
difference, and would probably not even
result in trial. The charges preferred
by Colonel Whipple against his brother
officer are now at the headquarters az
the army. Lieutenant General Sheridan
Will arriva here tomorrow, AID one of
his first officials acts will be an examina-
tIon OF the charges. From private
SOURCES it is learned that the Charge Is
conduct unbeceming an officer and
gentleman, Il was intimated that the
trouble Was 0f domestic character, and
Colonel Whlpple and several eeryante
were involvNd in the case. Colonel
Burns has been put under arrest by Gen,
eral Schofield.

Hostile TO Rlaine.

Sun has the following:
& III Mr.. Blaine depends upon the vote
OF Ohio to secure the republican presi-
dental nomination in 1888 he is proba-
bly, building his hopes upon an insecure
foundation. at various periods during
the past two months number OF Ohio
congressman and prominent republican
politicians from that state have visited
Washington. Nearly every one of them
has expressed the opinion, either pubIic-
ly or privately, that the republicans
cannot afford to renomlnate Mr.. Blame.
He had his chance and failed,
and therefore they are in favor
OF giving some other member OF
the party an opportunity to measure
swords with Mr.. Cleveland, as the latter
will probably be the democratic nominee
IN the next national convention. Ohio
presents John Sherman as her first
choice. An Ohio congressman in refer

clared tkatewhile Mr.. Blaine was EXERT

OF the Irish vote, he would probably
lose as many, il not more of the Puritan

remark said he would work for Mr..
Blaine faithfully if ne should be nomi-
mated, but he added that there was a
growing sentiment within the party

Something About the shame nae.

Washington, August 13--The roya
party OF Siamese that recently visited this
city has made an unusually favorable
impression upon those who have met ite
members, the intelligence and polite
bearing of whom have caused the
inference that progress in the land OF
the white elephant is keeping pace with
that OF lands supposed to be more en-
llghtened. An official of the state de-
partment, commenting on this view of
the subject, said: "It is by tritles that
We can often infer matters OF Importance.
and in comparing the representatives OF
Siam that have just left us with those
who were here three years ago, and oon-
sidefing them both as representative
Siamese. OF which l have no doubt, I
should say that that country has adj
vanced at least thirty years in this short
time in the substitution OF European
manners in place of those
they received from their fathers.
Perhaps every one would not
call this advancement but that
is matter OF opinion. T had the pless-
ure, ia an official way, of dining with the
embassy here three years ago and
also with the visitors who left us last
week. The first dinner I remember.
was rather @ stiff affair for me. Most
OF the company wers attired in the ma.
tive costume of Siam and spoke in their
own tongue. On the table were dishes
of rice and other food especially ordered,
with which the visitors were acquainted
at home. There were good many little
incidents at the table which, to one
whose ideas or politeness are formed by
the etiquette of any civilized annnt-y,
would have appeared decidedly crude.
to say the least. Fingers, for instance. !.
played a part usually taken by ikpiy yes
and forks. My dinner with the represep-
itat1ves OF Siam showed that these things
had passed away. Everyone spoke En-
g!iah, end most of them auentiy. The con-
duct of all showed u scrnpulous regard
for the Hiceties OF etiquette. 1 should
have thought / dined with the most
tastidious Frenchnfan from their man
ners, The dinner was the ordinary one
served by the Arlington, with no .speciai
dishes to remind me of my foreign hosts.
In this connection there is one thing
that will be interesting to those who
bewail the tendency OF some spoiled and
shallow sons of America to ape English
manners. Though said my hosts were
as tastidious es Frenchman yet they are
as English as a Pennsylvania avenue,

It is the misfortune of some news
papers to be always stray,ng off from the
straight pathway into the brambles and
bogs OF Misrepresentation. To this class
OF unfortunates belongs the Chicago
Tribune, which almost slways lands on
the wrong side OF the fence. Here ,s o
sample in illustration o; its rrIling
passion:
The farmers OF northern Minneeota
and Dakota are in strait. Not blessed
with more than moderate yield OF the
cereals, they find that the crops have
matured much earlier than usual, owing
to the drouth, and are pressed with har-
vest work for whichI they are inadquateiy
prepared. They axe very short Of help,
and it is becoming q serious question
with them how the crops Can be gath
cred before the grain drops to the
ground and is utterly lost. The farmers
are reported to be offering So to 50. 80
per day, and some of the roads are will
ing to Gerry the desired help to them at
the rate Df two cents per mile. Here ,s
a splendid opportunity for such Of the
"toiling masses" as are grumbIing that
they can find no work to do.

condition does not prevent Dakota from

which will throw much light upon q
question which has been discussed more
or less since the frightful disaster of
Wednesday night. The record kept by
Train Dispatcher Hibbard indicates that
the ill-fated excursion train was run at
a rate of fifty miles or more per hour
when the disaster occurred. The dis
tance from Forrest to Ohatsworth is six
miles, and 1t was. covered in seven min
utes, or fraction less than mile O.
minute. The track between these two
points 10 an up grade the entire distance.
From Ohatsworth to the point where the
accident occurred the grade as gradually
downward until about mile from the
scene OF the slaughter is reached, where
this section OF grade becomes much more
marked. It is now believed here, in the
light OF this discovery, that the train
must have been running at rate of
speed even exceeding fifty miles an hour.
The fact also that the first engine OF the
double-header cleared the sunken cul-
vert goes to show that this passage was
made like flash. The discovery OF this
record will be followed up very closely
by the authorities now on the ground.
